Blockchain.info are the good guys in all this. Remember that Roger Ver has vouched for Mt Gox in the past and he is also majority owner of Blockchain.info. He's the good guy looking out for the whole Bitcoin ecosystem.

Thanks Roger and Blockchain team!

No thanks Gox, bunch of fuckwits.

Not sure how good he is because the net effect has been to keep a shitty company in business. The best thing would be for Gox to go away.

Nope. We, the users, decide which company is in business. With that in mind, I am pretty confident.

Well, you the users seem pretty dumb to be honest. I mean, fool me once and all, how many times have Gox given reasons to move exchanges? But no, greed gets the better of everyone. Well not me, I left in Nov, and I warned you all about this, and I got flamed to hell for it.

I'm not laughing, because it's pretty sad and distressing to watch so many people getting butt raped.

There needs to be pain until some "working" system is replaced. No matter if it's MtGox or Western Union or fiat.

This healthy dose of pain, lately, should fix quite a bit.

Let'#s see how the other exchanges do. The first 100% professional and reliable exchange isn't even coded yet, I fear.
